Happy Halloweeeeeeennnnn......

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYONE...

Not a whole lot new here for me. If you read my previous blog to this one, you know that I finished the book I was reading. It was awesome. The best part about the whole thing is that I have actually had the opportunity to meet Rick. He is a much more down to earth guy than I would have imagined.
I have really been enjoying reading lately. I have always enjoyed it, but I never did much of it. I have now finished my third book in the past four months. Which for me, is a lot of reading. I have actually been enjoying it so much, the day I finished "PATIENT NUMBER ONE" I came home from work and started reading 1877: Year of Violence and I have already begun to enjoy it. It will be the first book of Uncle Robbie's that I have read and from this point on, I intend to read more. Not that any one cares about this shit, but I am enjoying my reading and wanted to write it.

A BOOK REVIEW.....by ME!!!!

"PATIENT NUMBER ONE"
BY RICK MURDOCK AND DAVID FISHER

Not that my opinion matter much to the majority of existing man...but to me my opinion is the most important opinion to "one man" that I know very well ME! Therefore I am going to voice it.
I have recently read and thoroughly enjoyed with an abundance of fascination..."PATIENT NUMBER ONE."
The story of a growing, yet small, biotech company and a CEO who took on two of the biggest battles a person can...Cancer and Corporate America.
Stem cell research...I am still not sure I can grasp, to its fullest, what stem-cells are or what they do. But my understanding, or shall I say lack thereof and disbelief, is clear when it comes to the decisions made by a medical "goliath..." the evils of money, the power of it, and the corruption of our judicial system. It seems painfully clear that the bigger you are (as a "corporate goliath") and the more money you have the more you are entitled to. Whether this is factual or simply the opinion of an individual who has some commonsense it's debatable.
In my own opinion (a mind that is intellectually savvy when it comes to right and wrong) it is a disturbing and grotesgue display of idiotic ignorance that is displayed in profound perportion by the pages within "PATIENT NUMBER ONE"
A successful, yet relatively small company doing what is right, from their hearts, their souls and their minds, is forced to withstand the onslaught of corruption, the greed, and the monopolization of a "corporate goliath" that is reluctantly brutal.
As I read the story of Rick Murdock and his compelling ability to never give up (on his life and battle with lymphoma or his company CellPro), it accurd to me that injustice is inevitable. Whether you want to belief it or not, to me it was obvious on the pages of this book. Injustice is a strange phenomena that will never be understood and most likely can't be understood.
To all the individuals within the pages of this book, I thank you for your time and your efforts. For letting those of us fortunate enough to read "PATIENT NUMBER ONE," to realize just how incredibly corrupt and injust this nation can be. It truly is an incredible story of a company (CellPro) and its employess who have the hearts and the drive to try to do what is right...for the people who suffer from cancer, not for the money.

Damn it.....work tomorrow

It was a good Sunday....nothing exciting or super duper or anything like that. Just a mellow do nothing day. Thess made some awesome blueberry/blackberry applesauce that is excellent. Sue and Becky came over this afternoon and we a good little visit with them for an hour or so. I still have to talk about Friday night....man!!!! For me that was so fun to get out and just let it go and have so much fun with all of you thanks again for the great time...

Saturday...... whatever the hell the date is.....

I am not sure of the date at this particular moment.....I am going to go check my calender real quick. The 25th....
Wow, what a week!!!! The weather was nice for the most part all week long. For mid and the end of October, you couldn't ask for better weather. Thess and I played Carol and Diane for night this past week, we had a good laugh about it.
Last night was one an absolute blast...James, wish you weren't sick you missed out on a fun night. As far as I can dig into my memory bank, I am sure that is the first time that the four of us have ever gone out like that...ever. I had so much fun with all of you. I have never danced like that before and just had that much fun with not giving a damn about what I looked like or who was watching me. I met a lot of Sue, Becky, Leah, and Thess's friends and just had a great time. Talk about a lot of laughing, smiling and dancing. Thanks to you all for a wonderful and cut loose time.

yep...it's early......

Well, here I am again. The nights haven't, for me, been filled with much sleep the past week or so. I have been falling asleep fairly early but, contrary.....I have been waking up around 2 in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep. I get to much unnecessary shit in my mind and my wheels just turn and turn and turn and none of it really should matter, but that is just the way the chemicals in us work. It just goes to show that for some of us, our hearts are connected to our minds and connected to our stomach and connected to our feelings. The tin man from "The Wizard of Oz" might have had the worst idea....why get a heart if you are already living. Oh well enough of that shit...time to get on to something else.

Politics....shit!!!
Economy....Shit!!!
Work...thank god I have a job that pays well and that has the union to back me!!!

It is so funny... there are so many things that a person should be thankful for. It seems there is always someone somewhere, probably closer than a person might think, that has worse days then "you." Being thankful for what we have, and waking up every morning with a job, having people that care, still able to pay the bills, and still having a roof over our heads. Why does it seem like it is the heart that makes us happy. All these other things are wonderful accessories to our lives....and I don't really know where I am going with this. So That is the end of that...

how can an organ do that?

How can a simple little organ like a persons heart have so much control over the way a person feels? It seems that it has complete control over us. It is our link to life and it is also how emotional center point. I don't know how this is but in my opinion it is. And my opinion for me is always right. I realize I generally make this statement in reference to people in general, but I am sure most of you have figured out that I tend to write more in the third person than the first person. Even though I am writing about myself and my feeling, I try to keep unpersonal and general.

Sometimes life is harder than I think it is suppose to be, or maybe it is easier than it should be. Either way things seem to be rough at times and even rougher at other. Why can't the heart just circulate blood through our innocent little bodies and let us go on with the rest of our lifes. OH WELL!!! Things always get better with time. Time...Time...Time...what the hell does that mean. Time controls everything. Now it even controls when a person will feel better, or heal, or get over something.....TIME!!!!

Well, this weekend the boys will be here and I was thinking about taking them to the corn maze or the pumpkin patch if anyone would like to go on Saturday. I thought that would be fun.

where have I been........???????

I know....I know....I know......Where Have I Been? I don't have an answer for that. Work has actually been extremely busy the previous three weeks. We have been working lots of hours and getting home late. We are now on a new job that is right next to the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma. It looks like we may be back to regular 8 hour days. Other than that things have been pretty normal for me. I, just like every one else, still have my bad days where I get depressed and feel like shit. I just keep plugging away at them and make it through. One of these days I will have fewer and fewer of them, and I can't wait for it. Although I know there are many people out there whose days are much worse and whose heart and souls heart much more than mine. I hope everyone out there is doing well, and keep smiling and always keep you chin up.

Sunday morning....

Well, it is Sunday morning and we are all up at at 'em this morning. It is a little bit of a chilly morning and it appears to be a another rainy and grey day as it was yesterday. We had a great visit over at grandma and grandpa's yesterday. We spent the majority of our day over there just visiting and enjoying everyones company. Today may be a just sit here and stay inside again. Once again we had a great day yesterday.

Bush!!! what a fuckin idiot...

I can't figure out how this guy can feel like a completely idiotic ass. Once again I made the mistake of listening to this ass speak about the 700 billion dollar bank bail out. God Damnit!!! It makes my skin crawl...it's like listening to some scratch their fingernails across a chalk board. There is always a curiousness of whether the next time it will really sound that bad and that maybe, just maybe you willl be able to handle it without getting chills or having to plug your ears. NO MATTER how hard you try to take it, it is impossible. It is so embarrassing and humiliating to be an American with a president that can't even sound half ass intelligent, even with an overpaid, publicly financed speech writer. How does that make you feel. His speech writers are probably paid for by the American tax dollars.
I would like to send a humiliating thanks and my most embarrassing reguards, as an American, to all those hipocritical ignorant asses who voted for Bush. They were all so proud and walked around with their chest puffed up....Bush this...Bush that. Bush...Bush...Bush... That was their MAN!!!!! Now you can't hardly find one that is proud enough of the choice he or she made eight miserable years ago to stand up and at least admit they made a mistake by voting for a depression. Although we aren't there yet, thanks to the wonderful government we have who has come to save the day by bail out...who???? Yeah! What a bunch of BULLSHIT. A quote from Immortal Technique..."I have message for our out going president... kill ya' self. I was thinking about it the other day... why don't you...just kill ya' self......" Off of his latest album.
Well in other news....we have been working 12 hour days which makes my nights very short and very quick. It won't last to long so I have to suck up the hours while they will give them to me. Take care everyone and don't my anger towards the political asses that think they run this country (only into the ground) get you fired up. They are just my opinions and when I feel like I write down. "Freedom of speach mother fu@#er...."
